MAE LA, THAILAND - APRIL 04: General view of the Mae La refugee camp with bamboo houses surrounded by the jungle in Mae La, Tak Province, Thailand on on April 4, 2022. Mae La or Maela is a refugee camp in Thailand near the border with Myanmar (Burma), that was established in 1984 in the Tha Song Yang District, Tak Province (550km from capital Bangkok) in the Dawna Range area where lives around 50,000 Karen refugees after fleeing armed conflict and ethnic persecution by the Burmese army also known as "Tatmadaw", who razed, burned their homes and food crops, forced labor and enslavement. Mae La is the largest and oldest refugee camp for Karen refugees in Thailand with over 240 hectare. The camp has been established at 'Temporary Shelter' for over 38 years now, with almost no sign of hope for the people stuck inside to be able to go back into their country, especially with the ongoing conflict in Myanmar following the February 2021 coup by General Min Aung Hlaing.
